Web Crawlers

Between 1976 and 1977, four children from neighborhoods around Detroit were kidnapped and killed. Two of them were sexually assaulted, and all of them were bathed before being found on the side of highways and in snowbanks. The murders were also tied to a pedophile ring on North Fox Island, Michigan. A suspicious suicide, misread polygraph results, and multiple suspects were all involved. Was there a cover-up within the police department? The Web Crawlers have some theories.

NXIVM was a cult started by former Amway employee Keith Raniere and financed by Seagram’s liquor heirs. Members thought they were in a program about self-realization and enlightenment, but it turned out to be a cover-up for sex slavery and racketeering. Smallville actress Allison Mack was recruited, and she eventually ran a secret society called DOS where women were branded and forced to give collateral which would be used as blackmail. Also, Roger Stone worked as a consultant for NXIVM in 2008.

INTERVIEW: Sarah Lund went to high school with Allison Mack and talks about what she was like, and her yearbook quote.
